I have a cover reveal for Celebrate The Small Things today! Celebrate the small things is a weekly celebration, where we celebrate the small things - or big things - in life, and we hop around and celebrate with others. Sign up on the linky below.I have something a bit different this week so I hope that's cool with you all!Today I am celebrating the big thing of my friend and fellow Writer Diaries member Jen Naumann's new cover! I love a good cover and this is NO EXCEPTION.Here's what the book is about and HERE IS THE AWESOME COVER

Everyone thinks Harper Young killed her boyfriend. No one will say it to her face, but the signs are everywhere.

It’s almost been a year since Gavin was torn from Harper’s arms and brutally murdered. The police wrote it off as a freak accident, deciding Harper’s strange testimony was given under duress. But she knows something unnatural was involved and refuses to stop looking until she finds his killer, even if it means her reputation as a senior is ruined. Even if it means there really are monsters living among us.

With the discovery of the mothmen, witches, vampires and all the creatures she always suspected were out there, Harper finds herself amidst a complex bundle of unseen heroes who call themselves "Keepers", sworn to keep the secret of the paranormal creatures that walk this earth. As she tries to understand what’s so special about her that she’s able to break an old Keeper law, Harper has a baffling vision of kissing a mysterious guy before a blade is brought down on him. Before she can get a handle on her future, she becomes central to a battle between the questionable “heroes” and the evil she’s been training to fight, leaving her to wonder if there’s any way to change the fate that has been foretold before it’s too late.

Here we are, the first full week back at work for 2014 and already CELEBRATING! Hasn't it flown by?
Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly hop where we celebrate the small things in life: the finished chapter, the completed report at work, a warm cup of tea on a cold day...the rules are simple, and more info can be found here.

My celebrations this week are:

The first full week of work is (almost) done - hurrah. Let's not count how many more to go this year...
Leftover Christmas chocolates were brought into the office, and I had a good time eating up all the big maltesers (the snickers were oddly unpopular).
My godson's first birthday party this weekend!

Time for Insecure Writers Support Group - the first for 2014!Like a lot of people, I have been making resolutions and planning new starts for 2014. I will eat healthier, I will keep going to the gym, etc. I know myself well enough to know that some of these will fail. I know there are some resolutions there is no point making. There's no point saying that I'll stop being insecure about my writing, or worrying about its quality. I worry and angst because I care about it. It's not something I can switch off.I can control how I react to it though. If I'm in a writing funk, I'll work harder. I'll try and turn those negatives into a positive this year.Anyone with me? And anybody got any 'positive thinking' tips? :)Happy 2014 - Happy New Starts everyone.
